Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (age >15 years) is 1,8% and is increasing every year in Indonesia. Jali seeds (Coix lacryma-jobi L) are known to contain good dietary fiber for people with DM. One of the processed foods from jali seeds is tape. Therefore, tape jali can be used as an alternative snack food for patients with DM. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fermentation time on the food fiber content, total sugar content, and organoleptic quality of jali tapes. This study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method. The organoleptic test was carried out in May 2023 by 30 semi-trained panelists from the Nutrition students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, Muhammadiyah University, Jakarta. Tests for food fiber content and total sugar content were carried out at the PT Saraswanti Indo Genetech laboratory with one control factor, three treatments (48, 72, and 96 h fermentation), and five replications. Organoleptic tests included hedonic quality and liking (hedonic) tests using the questionnaire method, food fiber content tests using the enzymatic-gravimetric method, and total sugar content tests using the Luff Schoorl method. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data analysis. The results showed that there were differences in each sample for the quality of aroma, sour taste, sweetness, and texture (p <0,05), and the sample that was most liked by the panelists was TJ2. Laboratory test results showed that the sample with the highest fiber content and lowest total sugar content was TJ2, at 5,72% and 19,1%, respectively. In conclusion, fermentation time has an effect on the dietary fiber content, total sugar content, and organoleptic quality of jali tape.

Abstract

Broccoli is abundant in fiber, vitamins, and minerals and is useful as a complement to main dishes. However, the use of broccoli during baking is still limited. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to explore the use of broccoli as a substitute in the recipe of a traditional cake, Kue Lumpur, as a traditional Indonesian snack for various events. This study aimed to determine how to make green broccoli puree, the process of making Kue Lumpur with green broccoli puree substitution, the response of panelists, and the nutritional content of Kue Lumpur from green broccoli puree substitution. The experimental design research was conducted at Makassar State University from December 2021 to February 2022. The participants were 16 trained panelists. Data collection was carried out using documentation and questionnaires (Scoresheet). The process of making broccoli puree involves separation, blanching, steaming, and mashing in four formulations: F1 (10%), F2 (20%), F3 (30%), and F4 (40%). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's t-test. The organoleptic Kue Lumpur with green broccoli puree substitution had significant acceptability (p<0,05) in formula F2 (20% green broccoli puree and 80% potato) according to color, texture, and taste.  In conclusion, Kue Lumpur in formula F2 is very good based on organoleptic and hedonic properties, and shows that the aroma tends to be more fragrant and preferred.

Abstract

Many adolescents in developing countries have a poor breakfast habit. Poor nutritional status is thought to occur due to poor breakfast habits. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between breakfast habits and nutritional status in female adolescents using the BAZ approach. This was an observational study that used a cross-sectional approach. Three hundred and thirty-six (366) participants were selected from seven State Junior High Schools in Tasikmalaya using the proportional random sampling method. This study was conducted between August and October 2023. Nutritional status was measured using the body mass index-age-Z score (BAZ), and breakfast habits were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Multiple linear regression modeling with a significance of p<0,05 was used for data analysis. From 366 participants, the average frequency of breakfast was 3,4 ± 2,5 times/weeks, with an average BAZ of -0,08 ± 1,2 SD. Breakfast habits were related to nutritional status using BAZ (p=0,031. This study concluded that the frequency of breakfast consumption in a week is negatively related to nutritional status based on BAZ in female adolescents. Therefore, they need to be encouraged to eat breakfast and determine the reasons why they skip breakfast.

Abstract

Indonesia still has a high prevalence of stunting compared with several other Southeast Asian countries. The National Survey on Nutritional Status in Indonesia in 2022 reported that stunting in Indonesia was 18.5%, while Bangka Regency recorded a stunting prevalence of 16.2%. Feeding under the age of six months has become one of the factors of stunting. This requires concrete effort to handle the problem of stunting. This study aimed to assess the association between prelacteal feeding practices and infant stunting. The research used a cross-sectional design in the Kenangan Health Centre area, Bangka Regency, in May 2023. A sample of 173 infants aged 0-6 months was obtained using cluster random sampling. The height of the selected infants was measured using a lenghtboard and an infantometer. Interviews related to practical feeding were conducted with the parents using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test with α= 0,05. The results showed that 14,5% of mothers gave prelacteal food to their infants until 6 months of age. There was a relationship between prelacteal feeding practices and stunting in the Kenanga Health Center working area (p= 0,001; r= -0,663). There was a negative correlation between prelacteal feeding practices and stunting. In conclusion, there is a significant negative relationship between prelacteal feeding practices and infant stunting.

Abstract

Breast milk is the main source of nutrients in infants under six months of age. The causes of low exclusive breastfeeding coverage vary from region to region. Lack of husband’s support is one of the factors contributing to exclusive breastfeeding failure. This study aimed to determine the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding failure, designed as a cross-sectional study, conducted in Sawangan District, Depok City, in February 2023. Subjects were selected using the total sampling method, namely all mothers who had babies aged 0-6 months who conducted antenatal checks at Health Center and private midwife clinics who were available to be interviewed and filled out a questionnaire with as many as 224 people and analyzed using the Chi-square test at 95% CI. Results: During antenatal care, the father's role in buying formula/instant porridge/bananas (p= 0,0000 and applying honey or mashed dates to the newborn (p= 0,000) was associated with failure of exclusive breastfeeding in the early postnatal period. Both variables were associated with a 3,7 times higher risk of discontinuing exclusive breastfeeding in the early postnatal period. In conclusion, the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding failure in the early postnatal period were fathers who bought formula/instant porridge/bananas and applied honey or mashed dates to newborns. Socialization and education of fathers regarding the importance of fathers’ involvement in exclusive breastfeeding for mothers is needed.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases can cause oxidative stress, which affects their pathophysiology. One of the recommended diets for preventing complications of non-communicable diseases (NCD) is a rich antioxidant diet. One of the foods rich in antioxidants is beetroots. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant content of locally obtained beetroot juice. Laboratory experimental methods were used to test the antioxidant activity of beetroot juice. Before the laboratory test, the panelists carried out a hedonic test. The beets were then juiced and checked for DPPH′ (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The beetroot was then juiced and checked for DPPH′ (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test.  Results: The hedonic test showed that panelists preferred beetroot juice with lemon juice, with a 'like' range for the aroma and viscosity and a 'neutral-like' range for the taste and color of beetroot juice. The antioxidant content in 300 ml of beetroot juice was 53,34 ± 0,13%. In conclusion, beetroot juice has a high antioxidant content and health benefits in preventing NCD.

Abstract

Patients treated with intensive care are at risk of malnutrition. Enteral nutrition can help to maintain a patient's nutritional needs and digestive system function. However, some complications are associated with enteral feeding, including aspiration and refeeding syndromes. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the effects of enteral feeding methods in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. Related literature was systematically retrieved from 2019 to 2023 using the ProQuest, PubMed, Clinical Key, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library databases. Specific keyword combinations were applied when searching only for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on enteral feeding in critically ill patients. The results of this study found six articles were selected after screening based on the inclusion criteria. The continuous feeding method was found to improve the achievement of the target nutritional requirements and reduce the risk of aspiration. However, it is not always appropriate to consider circadian rhythm. In conclusion, there are important clinical factors to be considered before selecting the type of enteral access, including the patient’s clinical condition, surgical history, length of anticipated feeding time, and potential risks.
